Even he bids forward come!
These all died in faith, receiving not
Promises that were to come.

Thank You Lord for saving us and bringing us on the way which leads to life. Lord Jesus, You are the way into God. Cause us to realize that our Christian life is a race, and we must run the race to win the prize. Lord, we want to forget the things which are behind and stretch forward to the Christ before to experience Him, enjoy Him, and win Him as the prize! Praise the Lord 😀

Inspiring, soul lifting and a reminder of who we are in this last days; helping us remain focused and take responsibility!
